09:09 AM EDT, 10/19/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Several Sephora stores in France remained shut on Sunday after rioting across the country forced the LVMH (MC.PA) unit to close its nationwide network early the previous day. Catherine Spindler, head of the cosmetics retailer's Europe and Middle East division, said Sunday on LinkedIn that several stores were ransacked during the riots on Saturday, adding that the decision to close its businesses over the weekend was to protect the wellbeing of staff and customers.
